This article and the researchers grossly overstate potential benefits of this research. While adults have "brown fat" there isn't a lot, certainly not enough to make up for the level of overconsumption by obese people. It isn't appropriate to jump to conclusions about how this would work in humans based on rat experiments since rats have a much larger amount of brown fat than humans. TL;DR: Interesting research with irresponsible and most likely incorrect assumptions about how it applies to humans.
